The outstanding authors of Deliberate Motherhood have let the trials and hardships of motherhood mold them into better people. Whether the change includes learning patience when the two-year-old "paints" your walls with the black permanent marker, or forgiving a teenager who screams "I hate you," or loving more when that naughty child doesn't really deserve it, it's a change that refines us-or as the dictionary describes it, "removes impurities, makes something more effective or become more elegant." That is powerful! You may think that everything has been said about motherhood, but the delightful thing about Deliberate Motherhood is that every mother/author is one-of-a-kind. They each come from different backgrounds, have different parents, are married (or not) to different people, and certainly have "different" children. Each of the 12 "Powers" provided in this book is a crucial component to help you in your motherhood. And the best part is that you don't need to do it all at once. You can focus on one "power" a month, and over the course of a year, you'll see great changes in yourself and in your family. The mark of a great book is that it makes you think . . . and it helps you change . . . which in the case of this book, is an absolute guarantee!

-Michelle Pat, Enjoy Utah

"This is a book worth purchasing. I believe it's one every mother should treat herself to so she can refer to it regularly. When I having a rough mommy day I will often pick up this book to help me gain some perspective because often that's all I need to change my own behavior and attitude around."
-Cheryl, Cher-ing My Thoughts blog

"I love the collaborative community voice that emerges here, affirming that our backgrounds and beliefs may be different, but our love for these kids in our lives is fierce. . . . Deliberate Motherhood inspired me to sit down and think about the powers that guide my parenting-the attitudes or practices that I want to cultivate and pass on to my kids."
-Laura, Mothering Spirit blog
